He was given the name "Bazooka" by the team of our newly opened SUST Orphan Animal Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon.
Only about two years old, this Caucasian shepherd dog was found by animal lovers in southern Lebanon. He was so weak, emaciated and his open wounds were so infected that he could barely hold himself up.
It must have been weeks of being overlooked and ignored, unable to access his most basic needs.
Your donations made it possible for Bazooka to be tested for everything right away at the new SUST-OAH Beirut.
Blood work revealed that his body was fighting a serious, very dangerous infection. Eaten by fleas and ticks, with open wounds, burns (because he could only drag himself), Bazooka was diagnosed with severe anemia.
Unfortunately, his hind leg could not be saved.
However, Bazooka is now recovering in the adjacent shelter. He will need time to get back on his feet. He is also making great progress after the amputation, his blood counts are better than ever!
We and the team at the SUST Orphan Animal Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon thank you from the bottom of our hearts that thanks to your donations Bazooka can now catch up on all the attention he missed!
